ly rough league. Orr has brought
a challenger and that is all one
can realistically hope for."
Orr, in reference to the criticism
concluded "that not everything is
the coach's fault. There are some
things a coach can not do."
Orr joined the Michigan coach-
ing staff as an assistant to Head
Coach Dave Strack after a coach-
ing stint at Massachusetts.
He assumed the Head coaching
job in 1968-69. Currently in his fifth
season with the Wolverines, Orr
has compiled a 108-82 record to
date.
His most successful season was
the 1972 campaign in which his
squad finished second in the Big
Ten with a 12-2 conference slate
and was invited to the National
Invitational Tournament.

With a second place in cross-'

football Michigan is in top conten-
tion to cop the all-sports trophy in
the Big Ten.
Michigan is the proud defender ofj
the coveted trophy won from Michi-
gan State the previous year but if
you wish to view this honored
award don't look for it on the
corner of Hoover and" State. As a
matter of fact, don't look anywhere
because no such trophy exists.
The all-sports trophy is an imag-
inary concoction of unsubstantiated
origin that is unofficially awarded
to the Big Ten school with the most
success in the various Big Ten
sports. The Big Ten sanctions no
such award although the idea has
been proposed.

Canham said he would be in favor

award as often as any Big Ten
member. "It would be something
to hang our hat to," remarked
Canham.
Canham was unsure as to why
an award such as this was never
created but cited the fact that there
are "too many trophies" awarded
already as possible opposition to
the proposal.
In any case, Michigan is on its
way to retaining the uncertain
honor although only the fall sports
champions have been determined.
Except for basketball all winter
sports champions in the Big Ten
are found in a season finale cham-
pionship meet.
After an undefeated season the
Wolverine wrestlers coached by
Rick Bay feel they have a good
chance of winning the title at the
Big Ten- Meet February 23 and 24.
Michigan State and Iowa, however,
should prove to be stubborn com-
petition.
Michigan could prove themselves
number one in gymnastics at the
Big Ten Meet March 2 and 3. The
gymnasts have downed SIU, the
defending NCAA Champs, Southern
Illinois, and have lost only to Penn
State.
Indiana is almost assured another
Big Ten title in swimming but
Michigan has the inside shot at
placing second in the Big Ten
Meet to be held March 1-3. The
Wolverines have lost only to In-
diana in competition this season.
Coach Dixon Farmer's track
squad may well come out on top
in the Big Ten Meet March 2 and
3 at Purdue. The Wolverines carne
up with an upset over Michigan
State a week ago. The Spartans are
considered the conference power
in track.
It has yet to be seen what kind
of winning talent Michigan has in
spring sports but the Wolverines
should offer top notch quality at
least in tennis.
Canham particularly cited the
impressive athletic facilities as an
important advantage in recruiting.
"The facilities impress high school
kids and is a great factor in re-
cruiting," remarked Canham add-
ing that the relatively poor con-
ditions of the hockey facilities is
disadvantageous in recruiting hock-
ey talent.

ROTONDA WEST, Fla. - Pole
vaulter Bob Seagren, who had
never "earned a legal dime in ath-
letics," turned the Superstars
sports carnival into a one-man
show yesterday and collected a
whopping $39,700.
Winners on the pro track tour
are scheduled to receive $500 an
event, which would force Seagren
to win the pole vault competition
80 times to better what he earned
within 36 hours here.

a gold medalist in the 1968 Olym-
nics but a disappointment at
Mrich when his vaulting pole was
outlawed, swept four of the last six
events on a unique 10-sport pro-
gram.
Ten of the world's best-known
athletes strained through two days
of action in events other than those
for which they are famous, com-
peting for a $122,000 purse.
Seagren, 26, began his march by
psetting former heavyweight box-
ing champ Joe Frazier in weight-
lifting Monday night and then won
the baseball hitting, half-mile run
and one-mile bicycle race yester-
day.
Jean-Claude Killy, the French
idol of the ski slopes, was No. 2
overall-despite not winning an
event-and took home $23,400.
Table tennis was dominated by
Rod Laver, and the tennis great
from Australia rallied to tie for
third in all events with race driver
Peter Revson. Each man earned
$13.100.
The top five finishers in each
soort were awarded points on a 10-
7-4-2-1 basis, with each point worth
$300. Then, the No. 1 overall man
received an extra $25,000, with
515,000 for second and $10,000 for
'third.
Seagren was a late entry, being
selected when golfer Gary Player
of South Africa was forced to with-
draw due to illness.
"Only a strange turn of events
allowed me to win all this money,"
said the 175-pound vaulter. "If the tries, dethroned heavyweight cham-New York71 0, Portland 106
